"ACT Policing data shows that approximately one in 70 motorists tested is a drink driver," he said.

"While some of the ACT's higher drink driving hit rate may be attributable to targeting through intelligence-led policing, it also indicates that there are many ACT drivers who simply do not understand that drinking and driving aren't acceptable."

'Seriously flawed'

The Government also wants to make changes to the roadside drug testing laws.

Mr Corbell says the laws put forward by the Opposition were rushed through earlier this year resulting in serious flaws in the legislation.

The Government has introduced almost a dozen amendments it hopes to pass before the testing is rolled out by the end of this year.

Mr Corbell says under the current scheme, people could legally drive away during a roadside drug test.

"We want to make roadside drug testing work, that's the will of the Assembly," he said.

"The Government wants to see that implemented but it's got to be workable and all of these changes are based on advice we've received from the Chief Police Officer, from ACT Policing and from the relevant government departments about actually making it work on the ground."

Opposition Leader Zed Seselja says the Liberals are not responsible for rushing the process forward.

"The Labor Party has never, ever wanted this legislation. They had the opportunity in 2005, they voted against it. They tried to oppose this time as well," he said.

"This is really important road safety legislation and Simon Corbell can now come and quibble about details and we're happy to work with him to fix any genuine issues."
